Check out our new FUN Movement & Music class!🎶
Following last month’s successful introductory workshop, we are happy to announce that Robson Freire will now lead a regular class for the next several months. Robson covers a variety of movement styles. During our first regular session, we started with chair-based stretching exercises to music, followed by Rumba, Samba, and much more.
Movement and Music classes support older lifestyles by improving physical health, boosting brain function, and fostering social connection.
Physical Health & Mobility:
- Better balance and gait: Rhythmic movement and music therapy help stabilize walking patterns, which reduces the risk of falling.
- Joint health and flexibility: Gentle stretching, chair exercises, and low-impact dance warm up stiff joints and ease everyday muscle pain.
Heart and Lung Strength:
- Moving to a beat offers safe cardio exercise and breath work that increases endurance.
Cognitive & Emotional Well-Being:
- Familiar songs and active music therapy simultaneously stimulate motor, emotional, and memory centers in the brain.
- Stress and depression reduction: Upbeat rhythms trigger dopamine and endorphins, helping to alleviate anxiety and isolation.
Confidence Boost:
- Accomplishing new movements or learning rhythmic steps increases self-esteem.
Social Connection:
- Shared classes create a sense of community, routine, and belonging that counteracts loneliness.
Encouraged Communication:
- Group singing or collaborative dancing offers a natural, pressure-free environment to interact with peers and caregivers.
